redux-saga: put.resolve isn't blocking when invoked via an action

I have a saga that has 3 put.resolve(), but it seems put.resolve does not block for my intended use case.

// inits different part of the state tree with some initial data
export function* initSaga (action) {
    yield put.resolve(INIT1, 1)); 
    yield put.resolve(INIT2, 2));
    yield put.resolve(INIT3, 3));
}

if i invoke this initSaga with a call(), then each put.resolve seems to block. However, if I try to invoke initSaga via an action that was dispatched, then the put.resolves don’t seem to block.

yield call(initSaga) // is blocking yield takeEvery(INIT, initSaga) // is not blocking yield takeEverySync(INIT, initSaga) // is not blocking

I sort of understand why takeEvery wouldn’t block since it uses fork internally, but I dont’ understand why my implementation of takeEverySync does not block.

function* takeEverySync(pattern, saga, ...args) {
    const requestChan = yield actionChannel(pattern);
    while (true) {
        const action = yield take(requestChan);
        yield call(saga, ...args.concat(action));
    }
}

Is there a way to write takeEvery in a synchronous fashion to make the put.resolve()'s synchronous?
